On the trail with Sudden Oak Death (part 2)

Humans, who seem chronically unable to accept Mother Nature’s way of doing things, are intent on solving problems that may not really exist. When we observe changes impacting the way we value our surroundings, which is typically economically, we feel compelled to “fix it” and keep the problem from spreading and costing us more money.

And so we humans are intent on “saving” oak trees from illnesses born of numerous pathogens, such as fungi Phytopthera Ramorum and Hypoxylon, rather than letting Nature have her way.
